Do you have your ears pierced?

No, I don’t. Making hole looks painful, and more than that, my company prohibits from getting ears pierced. A lot of companies prohibit from getting ears pierced in Japan because that looks frivolous. I don’t think so, though. What type of earrings do you have?

Corrections

Making the hole looks painful, and more than that, my companyemployer prohibits employees from getting ears pierced.

Nitpick, but "my company" sounds a little more like a company you own or control, while "my employer" is more clear that it's the company you work at.


That's a lot of control for a company to have over its employees! These days it's becoming less common for even schools to enforce that kind of restriction on their students here, it's been decades since a company could ask that of an employee.

What type of earrings do you have?

I'm like you, I was always too scared of the process of getting a piercing to ever do it.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
You teach me how to make corrections in a way that feels natural, which is helpful for my studies.
I'm gradually getting better at writing sentences, but I still need to practice making the flow of my sentences more natural.

No, I don’t.

Making a hole in your ear looks painful, and more than that, my company prohibits us from getting ears pierceddoing so.

It is good to specify where the hole is, as it is the first time you are talking about it in the text.
Your company prohibits you and your co-workers from getting your ears pierced. So you should use "us".
There is no need to repeat "getting our ears pierced," and instead, it is better to replace it with "doing so."

AIn fact, a lot of companies prohibit their employees from getting their ears pierced in Japan because thaey believe it looks frivolous.

"In fact" just makes the sentences flow better together here.
The companies prohibit "their" employees.
The companies believe that it looks frivolous, and it is not the accepted truth. Therefore, "they believe" is used.

I don’t think so, thoughHowever, I don't share this belief.

There are multiple ways of writing this sentence. I would say that the same sentence is good enough without the word "though," but it is too casual for written English.

Great Job! I would suggest that you explore the use of transition words such as "additionally" and "furthermore" as they can help your sentences flow better.

Really? Do they allow ear piercings for women at least? I never knew that!
I have three piercings that form the points of a triangle on each ear. I wear gold hoops on the bottom two and gold studs on the top !

Excellent work! Don't forget to specify the "who" of your sentences.

I would guess that "frivolous" probably isn't the word your company would use. My guess is they would say it's "unprofessional."
Frivolous is an opinion, whereas a company or organization can have a required dress code that states its expectations for employees.
